Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

It has come to my attention that some of us don't actually know where to get info on the tang stamps. So here it is

Tang Number Chart

Main Blade Identity

0.Wharncliffe
1. Regular Clip
2. Regular Spear
3. Sheep Foot
4. Spey
5. Drop Point/Skinner
6. Sabre Clip
7. Sabre Spear
8. Muskrat Clip
9. Cotton Sampler

For Example:  if the Tang Stamp reads 735208

# 73 = Pattern number     

 5 = the main blade (Drop point/Skinner)

 2 = the knife has 2 blades     

08 =  it was made in 2008

That's great info.

I know it would be asking alot but is there anyway we could have a picture of each? Help show the difference between say "Regular Clip" and the "Sabre Clip". Please if it's too much I understand.

Robert,  I've got a couple of pics on the Knifeology site that might help.

I stole this from GEC, but I don't think that they will mind.

Thanks so much Johnny, but you probably broke JJ.'s heart. No Warncliff..

I'm sorry, I didn't see his post.

Should I take it down?

No Johnny, that's his favorite pattern and it's not in there..lol  That's a real good display but it's not complete. Thanks for posting it. Just wait till the Madame [Miss Jan} sees what we've been up to..lol

That's ok.  It's on this one.

And this one.  LOL.

You win JJ. thats some fine displays. Just look what I started. Well everyone has got a good look at the blade patterns.

Wow, the info that can be found on this site is amazing.  Thank you all for helping with this.  Now I need to see if I can rename this LOL
